THE DARDA SENIOR CLASS HISTORY After Pushing Back the Horizon by graduating from high school, a number of young people over the Southeast decided to venture farther by attempting a college career. Thus, they pushed their horizon in a direction different from what it would have been had they chosen other roads. In September, 1936, Trevecca opened with a Freshman Class of forty-four members. The first few weeks were filled with thrilling experiences. In October the Seniors gave the Freshmen a reception at Centennial Park, and all the students became better acquainted. In the same month the class organized with the following officers: Harold Glenn, President; Elizabeth Gray, Vice-President; Angelee Cochran, Secretary; Lonnie Friend, Treasurer; and Professor L. C. Parsons, Sponsor. Much to our regret, before the year was over several of our number had been forced for various reasons to drop out. In the following September, part of our group gathered again at Trevecca to continue their preparation for life. We were sorry that some could not return. As Seniors, we elected Koy Phillips our President and leader for the year. One Friday evening in October we gave the Freshmen a reception at Centennial Park. Soon this year will pass, ami then will come separation, each member going to his special place of service. Although some of us may never again meet in this life, the memories of the years spent in Trevecca will remain with us. While we shall look back at times, yet our main view will be forward; and, Pushing Back the Horizon, we shall still strive to reach the de- sired goal. Walter Boswell, Historian. PUSHING BACK THE HORIZON There flashed across the western hills A band of pilgrims, weary but gay, Their faces glowing with cheerful light As they climbed to the top at the close of the day. On reaching the summit they paused to rest, And let their eyes wander back o ' er the track Their feet had trodden since first they set out On the journey from which there was no turning back. Far back on the plain stood the first mile- stone Where happy days ended in the red school And gaily and joyfully they entered the higher, Ever moving on toward another goal. As years passed by they toiled to gain A guerdon deserving their labor well done, Forgetting the struggles and hardships, and hastening Forward to push back another horizon. Long years have passed since first they sought To live for others in the God-given plan; And the once laughing girls and boys Are now serious-minded women and men. Ever willing and glad to do their part, Ready and faithful unto the end, Serving the Master with loving and grateful hearts, And finding in Him their dearest friend. Flossie M. Curtis, Class Poet.
